you guys suck at starting these things..

1. Scaife's lay out D and then getting kicked in the nuts
2. The D point where everyone on the field beat their guy to the force side and then scaife laid out to get the D
3. Waking up sunday with terrible sunburns on my face and arms, forgot how important sunscreen is

the real reason I wanted to start this was to tell you guys a couple things.. First off, I had an absolute blast being out there all day on Saturday and I'm sorry I couldn't be out there on Sunday (from what I hear you guys played a lot more intense which is awesome!!).. You guys have a ton of talent on this team and it really makes me excited about what you could be if you are willing to put forth the effort.. Words of advice from a guy that wishes he would have done these things himself.. Take in as much knowledge as possible about ultimate!! Whether that's from listening to the older guys (this includes your captains), reading articles online, watching videos, or watching other teams play during a bye.. Even this past weekend, sam, matt 5'10 and I were on the sidelines of the Indiana vs Michigan game and were trying to learn new things to bring to the team..

Second piece of advice would be to not get frustrated! I know it's hard sitting on the sidelines waiting for your name to get called to get onto the field, but from my experience getting frustrated never helps.. The next time you are on the field, show whoever is calling lines that you deserve to be on the field.. And relating to this, when on the sidelines stay involved in the game!! I felt like you all played so much better this past weekend when the whole sideline was talking to the players on the field (especially when playing a zone or against a zone).. I was never the best on the team (not even close) but I felt that the thing I did the best was to help out the team where I was needed and many times talking to someone on the field made all the difference in a point!

Thirdly, and I'll end with this.. You have to put in the time to get results.. Do the drills, conditioning (very, very important!!!), and listen to your captains and the old guys, yes doug and jeremy, you are old and I guarantee you guys will see results.. I can't wait to be out there next weekend to watch you guys again!! I really think you could do some damage if you put in the effort!!

Rookie Ride

For all the rookies, this is where we post all the great memories from the weekend..


1. First off, thanks Team X for letting me play with you guys.. I had an absolute blast playing with you guys, and I'll definitely try and come out a lot more!!
2. Brad's amazing scores throughout the weekend (I think he only had one standing up, the rest were sliding or lay outs)
3. Goose's amazing hucks that were dead on, and missed on Sunday
4. The game against Rolla/Bearly Legal
5. Quat and myself getting a double lay out D on the all girls point


Please continue!!

roommate wanted..

hey everyone, i just got a notice at my apartment today that says my roommate, joe, and i have to decide if we are living in this amazing apartment again next year by this saturday.. right now we live in a 3 bedroom apartment in Kensington Park Apartments (on Kansas and Bennett) with another friend of ours.. the problem is, our other roommate is moving out in may and is not gonna be living with us this summer or next year, so we have to find another roommate to live with us.. we thought we had more time to figure out who is going to move in with us, but i guess not.. our place is 900/month plus electric, small cable charge, which is about 34-40 bucks.. so it's gonna be about $340 a month, which is a little bit higher than some places but i promise it's worth it.. the place just got built this past year so it's brand new with everything in it new.. a hot tub, pool, 24 hour exercise place, security cameras, etc.. i know i sound like some terrible ad but i really want to live in this place again..

a little background on joe and i as a small note.. joe and i are late night people and enjoy playing poker some nights.. we stay up late and hang out in the living room talking and just joking around.. we play video games (joe has a wii, so that's always a plus), and we have dish network as our provider for tv.. we're both good guys who don't drink, smoke, or party and keep relatively clean ourselves.. if you don't know where you are going to live, let me know if you're interested in living with joe and me!! again, i really want to live in this place for the summer and next year.. moving sucks and i really like this place..

Eff Texas!
